Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[SleepingHero]

Yall talking Jimmy Butler and Paul George...

Yet Andrew Wiggins is only 29 and cheaper than those guys.  Ascending contract...but cap keeps going up.

Andrew Wiggins is frowned upon here though.  Long, athletic, can defend, doesnt require the ball, no major fundamental flaws in his bball skills, can shoot the 3,  proven playoff performer(disruptive on defense in GS playoffs)

I dont understand the Butler and George talk at their age and contracts.  I like both player...both would have been perfect next to Luka if under 30 years old.  My selfish opinion...I dont want players that are so old that have to be game managed a lot during the regular season.  At some point George and Butler will have to consider wear on their bodies and save their fuel for Playoffs. 

Butler and George are both more reliable 2-ways as far as scoring goes...but that age is scary at that price point.

Wiggins on the court makes sense. But the reasons why he's never on the court is scarier than Butler or George. It's one thing to have a fragile body, but Wiggins' issues resemble Ben Simmons' lack of desire and mental fortitude. That is really hard to overcome.

If Wiggins was as good as George or Butler, maybe some teams could tolerate it. I'd be petrified though taking on that contract without a lot of 1sts attached to it. 

BUT if we're talking about Wiggins the player? Yeah he fits REAL good. He does just about everything we are wanting from a SF. He's big enough to play the 4 too. He can defend as good as any. His scoring has always been a strength.

It should caution you the Warriors were ready to cut him loose for whatever this trade deadline given all of that.
